In a wild District 4-3A opener at Mustang Bowl that featured a pair of 2-3 teams with first-year head coaches, the winner of Fridayâs Sweetwater vs. Snyder showdown wasnât decided until the final play.
Even though Sweetwater never trailed, the Mustangs couldnât relax until a Snyder fumble on that very last play sealed a 34-27 triumph.
And while the first feeling might have been one of relief, it was immediately followed by joy in the Bowl as Sweetwater won its 4-3A opener against a fierce rival â and one with three con-secutive lopsided victories over the Mustangs.

BROADWAY BAPTIST CHURCH
In my daily Bible reading and devotions I came across Deuteronomy 24:18 âThou shalt remember...the Lord thy God redeemed thee...â What a wonderful blessing it is to remember that it is God Who redeemed us. It is easy for us to remember the ruin, the bad, the difficult and the hard times in life, but how often do we pause and remember our redemption. This week take a moment and remember the day you received Christ. Take a moment toreminisce and rejoice in the God of your salvation. In doing so you can regain the joy of the Lord in the midst of your storms.
